Data Security
We understand that the security of your personal information is important. We provide
reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security controls to protect your personal

cannot ensure or warrant the security of your personal information. Any transmission of
personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any
privacy settings or security measures contained in the Services.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you
(or where you have chosen) a password for access to and use of certain parts of the Services,
you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your
password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public
areas about any of the Services.

In the event of a data breach involving personal information, FinStackk will take steps to notify affected individuals as required by applicable law. FinStackk will investigate any suspected or actual data breach and will take reasonable measures to mitigate the potential harm and prevent any future breaches. FinStackk will also take steps to identify and address the cause of the breach and will work with any applicable law enforcement or regulatory authorities as required. If you have reason to believe that your personal information has been compromised as a result of a breach, please contact us immediately at connect@finstackk.com.
